To The Point

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday announced a reward of Rs 50
lakh to anyone giving information regarding the two youths who carried out
Sunday's grenade attack on a prayer meeting at the Nirankari Satsang Bhawan
of Amritsar district.

On Monday, when he was asked whether BJP was such a dangerous party that
opposition parties were combining against it, he said, "If they (non-BJP
parties) have said it like this, then it must be definitely correct."

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
ideologue Rakesh Sinha suggested that he would soon introduce a private
member's bill in Parliament seeking the construction of Ram temple on the
disputed site in Ayodhya.

The Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath is likely to announce during
the Diwali celebrations in Ayodhya about the construction of a grand
151-metre tall statue of Lord Ram on the banks of Saryu River.

"Is that a bird dropping?" was all Divya Spandana had to say about a photo of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, clad in white, at the foot of Gujarat's newly
inaugurated 182-metre statue of Sardar Patel. A backlash followed. Congress
is reported to be deeply upset at its own social media boss.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi has furnished a clarification on his
factually incorrect statement about Shivraj Singh Chouhan's son that resulted
in a criminal defamation suit filed against him by the Madhya Pradesh chief
minister's son.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Monday called for enactment of a law
to facilitate construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said the RSS
will support whatever decision is taken by saints on the matter.

A unit of the Intelligence Bureau was present outside the home of Alok Verma,
the Central Bureau of Investigation director who has been sent on leave, top
sources within the spy agency told India Today TV.
